Treat Animals Humanely

Our standards for down, wool and humane farming methods whenever and wherever we use animal products

Respect Built In

We only use animal products when necessary — and only from sources with proven high welfare standards. No fur. No exotic skins. No dodgy down. We’re majority vegetarian-owned, and like any good pub, we cater for everyone — but kindness comes first.

Circle of Care: The Re:down

How feathers, ethics, and Continuum Project come together in one very soft loop.

We’re partners with Re:Down®, one of Europe’s leading innovators in recycled down, to help close the loop on one of the most technical — and emotional — materials in outdoor gear.
